When I visited Pyongyang a few years ago, I saw firsthand the repression and poverty there. The people were starving. They were eating roots and grass. Government officials told us openly that missiles were their major export and that they would sell them to all buyers.Today, North Korea has enough plutonium to develop nuclear weapons. Their recent actions, their covert highly enriched uranium program, and their provocative acts of the past few months are extremely dangerous. Kim Jong Il must turn North Korea back from its destructive nuclear course.
In August 1997, Committee Members visited Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, where they engaged North Korean leadership on the perils and pitfalls of the DPRK's continued intransigence on security and humanitarian issues.

...Government officials told us openly that missiles were their major export and that they would sell them to all buyers...
Am I understanding this correctly? Prior to 2003, NK had already developed nuclear weapons, were producing them and selling them?
Thanks for your findings. So she visited NK before Half-Bright?
